Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

It's finally snowing here. We are in the midst of a huge and nasty winter storm. Betcha didn't think it snows in Arizona did ya?

It has been really cold here. Sunday night the sky was clear and the wind was howling and it must have been 11 degrees with wind chill. Guess what I did that night.

I drove myself to the hospital.

With only one eye functioning.

I had a horrific migraine, one I haven't had in nearly 10 years. I get them every now and then, but this was pure torture. It started at bible study and progressed to the point that I couldn't drive home. So my friends dropped me off and I promptly ran to puke. And then I couldn't stop. I coulnd't keep anything down, let alone any pain meds so I had no other choice but to drive the half mile (thank goodness it is only half a mile to the hospital!) with one eye covered with a damp washcloth while I drove 15 miles and hour.

Being at the hospital alone is pretty crappy. But I got the meds I needed, thankfully there was no wait and I waltzed right in and everyone was very nice.That is one of the down sides to having your spouse work 45 miles away. He can't just drop everything and take you to the hospital.

But I'm good now. Thankfully. I also managed to miss 3.5 days of work due to a wicked cold and then the migraine. I"m grateful next week is Christmas and I won't have to work at all!

About Me

My name is Vanessa and I am married to an amazing man. I also am the mother to an amazing daughter who has turned my life upside down. I believe in Jesus Christ, really good girl friends, and a really good glass of Reisling. I haven't blogged in 10 months and we've had some really big changes since then. I find blogs to be quite narcissistic but also really funny and a great way to spend my "free" time. I don't have aspirations to be the most read blogger of our generation, just trying to keep my thoughts straight and maybe help a few people struggling along the same crooked path of infertility.

If you don't like what I have to say, I'm sorry, hit the little X in the upper right hand corner of your screen. If you do like what I wright, I'm sorry, you have horrible taste.
